Mama's Groove

Whole upstairs smells like perfume

as she powders her nose

Little sister leaning on the counter

On her tippy toes

She says mommy mommy why you've been

in the bathroom for so long?

What is in your glass? What's for dinner?

Why you got your nice dress on?

Baby baby my sweet summer child

I won't be making dinner tonight

I told your daddy three weeks ago

And there's a star sticker on the fridge calendar

Mama's out the door

Mama's out the door

And then she says to everyone

You can watch a movie but don't stay up too long

And baby brother turn that speaker louder

This is my song

This is my song

She will be moving

She will be grooving

And for a moment

She won't care about everybody's doings

She will dance around

She wants to let it all out

So she can keep hiding the pain

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

Sister sister won't you hear me cry

I feel like I'm drowning and I know why

The man don't help he just lays around

The kids are cool but they wear me down

Years roll by and the family grows

Somewhere between the ballet lessons

And football matches

My old dreams had to go

My dreams had to go

And then she says to everyone

Ain't we done talking now

Let's have some fun

I need to be on the dance floor

This is my song

This is my song

She will be moving

She will be grooving

And for a moment

She won't care about everybody's doings

She will dance around

She wants to let it all out

So she can keep hiding the pain

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

You'll never know about 2x

There's a place in the dark

In the beat of the night

Where mamas think those things

They'd never tell you about

There's a place in the dark

In the beat of the night

Where mama's think those things

They'd never tell you about 2x

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

You'll never know about

You'll never know about 2x
